These also have feathers at the end. But smaller as they are on the darts for playing.

To make it clear, last predator standing is a game in which you go out and cause havoc and incite fish and game officials to try and capture you. Being predators that usually involves the use of tranquilizer darts. Daryl and myself just happen to be better at it than most....unlike Miles....two darts and he's out cold....the lightweight.

The tuft on the end of a tranquilizer dart is not for stabilization in flight, it's to provide an air seal around the dart in the gun barrel.

With all respect, aren't the tufts for both in-air stability and the air seal? My point is based on the fact that gaming darts, crossbow bolts, and regular arrows all have feathers meant for aerodynamic stability. Also I'd like to point out that crossbow bolts and regular arrows have their feathers positioned so that they don't destroy themselves upon release. I'm not an expert in arrows, but since the feathers on regular arrows are meant to serve as an aerodynamic stabilizer, couldn't the feathers on a trankuilizer (where's my spellcheck?) serve the same purpose, or a dual purpose? And I agree that it makes sense for the fluffy feathers to serve as an air seal.

If they played last predator standing, why is Daryl dart free? Did he use up his supply?

I picture him the kind of guy that would dodge a dart just as it's about to poke him. I picture him dancing and dodging bullets like it was the matrix at this point. Super cowardly sixth sense needle reflexes.
